Bihar (the state of Nalanda University) was the center of learning for centuries in history. Since independence, it was part of the “Bimaru” states an abusive word termed by vested interests including political parties to keep Bihar and other states from advancing. So we agree with our PM that Biharis are intelligent and will make wise personal and political decisions.

Aurangzeb’s reign was barbaric in the India – and so why have monuments and trophies to remind us of that. In light of this, there is growing clamor to rename Delhi’s famous Aurangzeb Road after the greatly loved people’s president, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam – known for “generosity and kindness are the virtues which are always remembered.” The feeling is now is time to make amends for the mistakes that have been made in history so that the future is brighter. Many political parties are also supporting such a move.

Per Home Ministry data, there were 330 incidents of communal violence between January and June, 2015, of these 68 were in UP and 41 in Bihar, totally about 1/3rd of all reported incidents. Data from West Bengal is not clear as some allege that communal incidents are grossly under-reported.

It is an irony that the Government has declared a holiday when Kalam himself never wanted it. “Don’t declare holiday on my death, instead work an extra day, if you love me”- Dr. Kalam had exhorted once.
Even as the city of Shillong was shocked by the news of Dr Kalam’s death, the Meghalaya Government which has declared a state holiday is being reactive and does not know the philosophy of this great soul who breathed his last here.

During today’s (Monday) ongoing anti-terrorist operations in Gurdaspur, Punjab, some news and current affairs TV channels carried live telecast of these operations without restricting themselves to periodic briefing. This greatly risks the lives of concerned Security Personnel and compromises the effectiveness of these operations. Government ordered the Media to follow the rules for this. This unfortunately happened during the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

The differences within the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) over lighting the ceremonial lamp at public functions has come to the fore, with senior leaders expressing divergent views on it. Though this has been followed as convention and widely practiced in Kerala, now vested interests are raking up this issue with a hidden agenda and we would not like to fall into their designs.

In October 2013, there was allegedly an assassination attempt on PM candidate Shri Modi. Several people died then and bombs went off at several places. Fortunately, few did not explode. So during PM’s visit later this month, Security should be doubly foolproof.

On May 5 at 1:00 am, the accused, his father and brother-in-law along with others barged into the victim’s house after cutting off electricity. It is alleged that they ransacked the house at gun point and looted all the money and ornaments that the victim’s father had collected for her marriage. Afterwards, it is alleged that they took the girl for the second time, after hurling some bombs. The Girl still remains MISSING.
